Laser or IPL Hair Removal: Which Is Best?

Nowadays, you will find a variety of equipment and salon services that can be used for permanent light-colored hair removal. All methods will make your skin smooth and hair removal, but how do you decide on laser and IPL (Intensive Pulsed Light) hair removal methods? Is it necessary to go to the salon often? Or can you do the same at home?

 

 

The difference between laser hair removal and IPL hair removal

The key difference between laser hair reduction and IPL hair removal at home is the type of light used. IPL is a broadband pulsed light source, and laser is a monochromatic coherent light source. Both methods target the melanin in the hair follicles and provide a permanent effect. Professional laser treatment is a more selective process, so very high energy will be concentrated on the hair follicles instead of the surrounding skin. Because of this, professional laser treatments will lead to quick results and are suitable for darker skin tones. Energy, frequency, and hair color are all determinants of the treatment effect, and the light source, whether it is a laser or a strong pulse flash, plays a secondary role.

 

Laser: Monochromatic coherent light source

 

IPL: Broadband pulsed light source

 

 

Both IPL light and laser pulses reach the roots of the hair through melanin. This stimulus has a damaging effect on the hair roots, and after several treatments, it will inhibit the hair roots from producing new hair. Dark hair and fair skin are the perfect combination to get the most effective results.

 

 

Is it worth going to a hair removal salon?

Do you prefer hair removal at home or in a beauty salon? Doing it yourself at home can save time and money, but you must do it often. Hair removal treatment in a beauty salon requires professional knowledge, and the effect is faster and the cost is higher. In either case, the result is similar: body hair is greatly reduced.
